Dagogo Altraide explores the history of the Sackler family and their role in the devastating opioid crisis through Purdue Pharma.

With over 200,000 deaths caused by Opioids, it's important to look at how this tragedy took place and who's behind it. In this video we look at the Sackler family, the family that has caused untold damage to the lives of millions for their role in the opioid crisis through their company Purdue Pharma. #sackler #opioid #crisis #epidemic #purdue ColdFusion Book "New Thinking" | newthinkingbook.squarespace.com/about/ New Thinking on Google Play: bit.ly/NewThinkingGooglePlay Subscribe here: goo.gl/9FS8uF Check out the previous episode: Become a Patron!: patreon.com/ColdFusion_TV CF Bitcoin address: 13SjyCXPB9o3iN4LitYQ2wYKeqYTShPub8 Hi, welcome to ColdFusion (formerly known as ColdfusTion).

On “McKinsey to pay $573M to settle claims over opioid crisis role: source”

…ou were just a mere guard at one of these concentration camps could you say what you just said to me to a victim who lived through the atrocity? Think about what you should say to the parents of a man/woman who died from an opioid overdose. Literally, I think you're unaware of the magnitude of the crime that was committed here.

On “You’ve Never Seen the Opioid Crisis Like This Before: A Review of Empire of Pain”

Considering the scope and breadth of their involvement in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, I don't think losing their money and "empire" is adequate. Prison time is well-deserved considering the outcome of their lies and fraud: link to this video
